New Horizons Encounter with the Pluto System: Atmospheric Opacities and Composition, Temperature, Pressure, and Haze Profiles from the LORRI, Alice, and REX Instruments
A PDS3 version of this data set can be found here.
Status: LOCALLY ARCHIVED
Abstract: This data set contains derived atmospheric data from the New Horizons mission during the Pluto Encounter mission phase, based on data from the Alice UV imaging spectrograph instrument, the Radio EXperiment instrument, and the LOng Range Reconnaissance Imager instrument. The data set includes a solar spectrum of Pluto and Charon; atmospheric composition on Pluto for N2, CH4, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, and haze, and the haze brightness profiles; Pluto lower atmospheric temperature and pressure profiles; stellar occultation and appulse data of Pluto; and temperatures of the diametric and winter pole thermscans of Pluto.
